Product details
Overview
AZ1084CS-3.3TRG1 from Diodes Incorporated is a fixed-output 3.3V, 5A low-dropout linear regulator in TO252-2 (3) package, featuring 1.35V typical dropout at full load, on-chip thermal limiting, and ±1% output voltage accuracy over 0°C to +125°C junction temperature. It delivers stable post-regulation for switching supplies and powers microprocessor cores in embedded systems requiring high-current, low-noise DC rails.
For engineers reviewing the AZ1084CS-3.3TRG1 datasheet, AZ1084CS-3.3TRG1 pinout, AZ1084CS-3.3TRG1 application, or AZ1084CS-3.3TRG1 equivalent, key selection criteria include dropout voltage at 5A, thermal shutdown behavior under sustained load, compatibility with ceramic output capacitors, and fixed-voltage stability across line/load/temperature variations.
Technical Context
The AZ1084CS-3.3TRG1 implements a bandgap-referenced error amplifier driving a PNP pass transistor, enabling low dropout operation while maintaining 0.5% typical load regulation and 0.5mV typical line regulation. Its internal current limit is set at 6.5A and thermal shutdown activates at +150°C junction temperature.
It operates with input voltages up to 12V and requires only 10µF ceramic input/output capacitance for stability. The device supports minimum load current as low as 3mA and exhibits 72dB PSRR at 120Hz, making it suitable for noise-sensitive analog and digital supply domains.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 3.3V ±1% (3.234V–3.366V) ensures reliable logic-level compliance for 3.3V microcontrollers and FPGAs. |
| Max Output Current | 5A continuous delivery enables single-regulator power for high-performance SoCs and DDR memory subsystems. |
| Dropout Voltage | 1.35V typical at 5A allows operation from 4.65V input - critical for battery-powered 5V-to-3.3V conversion. |
| Thermal Shutdown | Activates at +150°C junction temperature, protecting against sustained overload or poor heatsinking. |
| PSRR @ 120Hz | 72dB attenuation of ripple from upstream switching converters reduces downstream filtering requirements. |
| Load Regulation | 7mV max deviation (0–5A) maintains tight voltage control during CPU burst loads. |
| Line Regulation | 1mV max deviation (4.8–10V input) ensures stability across wide input rail tolerances. |
Pinout & Package
Package: TO252-2 (3), surface-mount, thermally enhanced DPAK variant with exposed drain pad for PCB heat sinking. Dimensions: 6.7mm × 10.4mm × 2.38mm (L × W × H).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (INPUT) | Unregulated input supply connection | Accepts 4.8V–12V DC; must be decoupled with ≥10µF ceramic capacitor near pin. |
| 2 (OUTPUT) | Regulated 3.3V output node | Delivers up to 5A; requires low-ESR ceramic capacitor (≥10µF) directly at pin for stability. |
| 3 (GND) | Power ground reference | Common return path for input/output currents; connects to thermal pad for optimal heat dissipation. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low ESR capacitor support | Stable with ≥10µF ceramic output caps - eliminates need for bulk tantalum or electrolytic. |
| Integrated thermal protection | Automatic shutdown at +150°C junction temperature prevents permanent die damage under fault conditions. |
| Trimmed bandgap reference | 1.225V–1.270V reference ensures ±1% output accuracy without external calibration. |
| Current limiting | 6.5A foldback limit protects both regulator and downstream circuitry during short-circuit events. |
| Lead-free & RoHS compliant | Fully compliant with EU RoHS 3 (2015/863/EU); halogen- and antimony-free "Green" construction. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar fixed-output LDO regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AP1117-3.3TSG-13 | 1A output, 1.3V dropout at 1A, SOT-223 package | Limited to low-power peripherals; insufficient for 5A SoC rails | Select when board space is constrained and load current ≤1A. |
| LT1963AES8-3.3#TRPBF | 1.5A output, 340mV dropout at 1.5A, SO-8 package, higher cost | Better PSRR (78dB) but lower current rating and no thermal pad | Choose for ultra-low-noise analog subsystems where 5A is not required. |
Compared with AP1117-3.3TSG-13 and LT1963AES8-3.3#TRPBF, the AZ1084CS-3.3TRG1 uniquely combines 5A capability, TO252 thermal performance, and 3.3V fixed output in a cost-optimized industrial-grade package - making it the only viable option for high-current embedded processor supplies requiring <1.5V dropout.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable input voltage for AZ1084CS-3.3TRG1?
The absolute maximum input voltage is 13.2V, but recommended operating input voltage is limited to 12V per datasheet specifications. Exceeding 12V risks exceeding thermal limits under full 5A load, especially without adequate heatsinking. Operation above 12V is not guaranteed for reliability or lifetime.
Can AZ1084CS-3.3TRG1 operate without an output capacitor?
No - a minimum 10µF ceramic output capacitor is required for stability, as confirmed in the datasheet's Typical Applications Circuit and Electrical Characteristics tables. Omitting it causes oscillation and potential damage due to phase margin loss in the control loop.
Does AZ1084CS-3.3TRG1 require a minimum load current to maintain regulation?
Yes - the datasheet specifies a minimum load current of 3mA at +125°C junction temperature. Below this, output voltage may rise beyond 3.366V due to internal bias current effects; this is verified in the "Minimum Load Current vs. Junction Temperature" graph on page 6.
Is AZ1084CS-3.3TRG1 qualified for automotive applications?
No - AZ1084CS-3.3TRG1 is rated for 0°C to +125°C operating junction temperature but is not AEC-Q100 qualified. Diodes offers automotive-grade variants (e.g., AZ1084CD-3.3TRG1 with PPAP support) for qualified applications; this part is intended for industrial and commercial use only.
